Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer LC-EL540B

LC-EL540B is an oil soluble silicone elastomer gel, which is a combination of volatile silicone oil carrier (cyclopentasiloxane D5) and vinyl crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane elastomer particles. It has the advantages of extremely silky skin, breathable elastic film forming, and mild oil control and matt light control. It is one of the most commonly used skin feeling regulators in skin care, cosmetics, and hair care products, especially suitable for the pursuit of lightweight and affordable use experience.

Features & Benefits of Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer LC-EL540B

Top level skin sensation regulation ability

  • Air silkiness: The "ball effect" of elastomer particles combined with the rapid spreading of D5 makes the product have minimal resistance when applied. The skin feel is smoother than linear silicone oil and lighter than phenyl silicone elastomer. It is suitable for use as the core skin feel ingredient of makeup lotion and liquid foundation.

  • Mild oil control matte: After the carrier evaporates, the elastic film can adsorb a small amount of excess oil on the surface of the skin, creating a natural matte or semi matte makeup effect, avoiding oily skin and preventing dryness and peeling of the skin. It is suitable for neutral, oily, and mixed skin types.

  • No residual burden: The film is extremely thin and has almost no presence, which is different from the hard film feeling of traditional resins and the oil film feeling of high viscosity silicone oil, improving the product experience.

Excellent film-forming and compatibility performance

  • The elastic film is breathable and resilient, which can protect the skin barrier, reduce external stimulation, and mildly lock in moisture, enhancing long-term moisturizing ability; The film is not tight or cracked after forming, suitable for skin care face cream and lotion.

  • It can be compounded with various silicone oils (amino silicone oil, polydimethylsiloxane, cyclic siloxane), oils, waxes, powders (talc powder, mica, titanium dioxide), and active ingredients (vitamin C, sodium hyaluronate) without any compatibility restrictions.

Wide applicability of formulas

  • It is applicable to anhydrous formula (wax, lipstick, eye black), water in oil (W/O) system (sunscreen, concealer), oil in water (O/W) system (lotion, face cream, liquid foundation).

  • In the hair care formula, it can improve the smoothness and gloss of hair, while avoiding stiff hair. It is suitable for anti manic essence and hair conditioner.

High security

  • Strong chemical inertness, does not react with the skin/scalp, does not contain irritating ingredients, the elastic membrane does not block pores, suitable for use on sensitive skin, acne prone skin, and sensitive scalp.


Applications of Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer LC-EL540B

  • Skin Care : Refreshing moisturizing cream, oil control lotion, makeup lotion, isolation cream,

  • Hair Care : Anti manic essence, refreshing conditioner, hair oil.

  • Sun Care: refreshing sunscreen.

  • Color cosmetic : Liquid foundation, air cushion, powder, makeup lotion, eye shadow, lip glaze.


How to uses

Adding method

  • Oil phase/anhydrous formula: Add directly to the oil phase or anhydrous system, stir evenly at room temperature, no heating required.

  • Emulsification formula: Add after heating the oil phase to 60-70 ℃, stir evenly, and emulsify with the water phase. Cool down to below 40 ℃ and then add active ingredients (such as sodium hyaluronate and vitamin C).

  • Powder formula: Mix with a small amount of cyclic siloxane or polydimethylsiloxane first, and then mix with other powders (such as talc powder, mica) to improve the dispersibility and smoothness of the powder.

Suggestions for compounding

  • Makeup base: compounded with polymethylsilsesquioxane to enhance makeup retention and waterproofness; Compound with silane powder to enhance the matte effect.

  • Skincare and oil control: compounded with sodium hyaluronate, balancing oil control and moisturizing; Compound with C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylene to enhance waterproofing.

  • Hair care and anti manicurity: mixed with amino silicone oil (such as Amodimethicone lotion), giving consideration to smoothness and hair softness; Combined with cyclic siloxane to enhance spreading properties.

Precautions

  • Carrier D5 is a volatile silicone oil that needs to be sealed during storage to avoid volume shrinkage and viscosity increase caused by solvent evaporation.

  • Avoid using in strong acid (pH

  • When adding high amounts (>15%), attention should be paid to the flowability of the formula. Low viscosity silicone oil can be added appropriately to adjust the viscosity and avoid the product being too viscous


Package
